Source-derived summary

Auga Punta (possibly from Quechua awqa enemy, opponent, rival; Spanish punta peak) is an archaeological site in Peru located in the Huánuco Region, Huamalíes Province, Jircan District. It is situated at an elevation of ca. 3,700 m (12,100 ft) on a mountain named Jircán, near the village of Urpish.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Auga Punta” as archaeological site in Peru. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Auga, Punta and archaeological.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 49-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Auga, Punta and archaeological providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Auga Punta”, the useful work is to connect “archaeological site in Peru” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17002056. Authority coordinates are -9.269, -76.707. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
